When we were just entering the City of Bickleton, we had to stop for two male California Quail that were crossing the road. One decided to stop at the edge of the road and pose for a few photographs. He didn't seem to mind our cameras nor the vehicles driving by. I love their head plumes which make them so darn adorable and unique.

" Papilio dardanus, the African Swallowtail, Mocker Swallowtail or Flying Handkerchief, is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae (the swallowtails)...The species is broadly distributed throughout Sub-Saharan Africa...The British entomologist E.

HMM. Ok, I suspect mail hasn't been delivered to this mostly abandoned farmstead for some time. Spotted on a recent road trip we took just to get away.

Conrail's hotshot Mail-3 was curving along the Juniata River behind a typical six-pack of high-horsepower EMD and GE four axle motors.

 

The hot trailer trains were a constant sight along the Middle Division on what was once the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad and the less successful Penn Central.

 

This classic trackage is now unfortunately Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line.

  

sadly, no more

For Macromondays theme "Mailboxes".

When I first got married it was so exciting to go the mailbox to get my mail. In fact, I would enter contests, send for coupons, order magazines anything just to fill my mailbox. Nowadays other than junk mail, my mailbox doesn't thrill me like it once did. Most of my bills are sent electronically and there is hardly any correspondence sent through the mail. Trying to be more environmentally aware last year I opted to skip mailed holiday greetings. I do miss the days of picking out special stationery and hand- writing letters to family and friends.

 

Everything in our society feels so urgent, we don't seem to want to wait for anything anymore. Do you remember mailing away your film and how exciting it was to get your photos back in the mail? I wouldn't want to go back to that but I think we need to learn about waiting and being excited again. Anticipating something is almost better than getting it.

A recreated Frisco mail train is ready to depart the East Union depot, led by the SLSF 1630. Before the train can leave, the two conductors must show the young lady the route timetable and board her and the sailor.

I posted an image about a year ago like this. When I'm at Lake Senachwine I always shoot these old mailboxes. Behind me is the abandoned house with and abandoned car in the driveway.

Truly one of a better e-mail you may not have seen:

 

A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Iraq ?'

 

A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia ?'

 

A mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait?'

 

Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?'

 

Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Korea?'

 

Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima?'

 

Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France?'

 

Yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?'

 

And yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge?'

 

Then long, long ago, a mother asked...

 

'Heavenly Father ... why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?'

 

The answer is always the same... “So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom.”

 

This was emailed to me with no author. I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.

 

If you are not willing to stand BEHIND our troops, please, please feel free to stand in front of them....

“Lets go to WAR is a political decision usually made by governments leading nations. A person can try to influence that decision, before and after, War begins or is averted. Once in war, a citizen’s duty to his/country is what if asked to served, or if asked to support those serving in hostile territories in HARM’s WAY”? I pray for the military folks abroad and at home, anxiously awaiting exercise of the right to vote out this current top government officials. What do you do?

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness.

Marseille - France.

During quarantine.

Jump aboard the miniature Mail Rail train and travel through the tunnels underneath London's Mount Pleasant sorting office. The track stretches all the way from Paddington to Whitechapel.

 

During the First World War, the Mail Rail tunnels were used to store art treasures belonging to the Tate, British Museum and National Portrait Gallery to protect them from German attacks.

Look what I got in the mail today!!! :D
